We lifted
camp this morning and headed towards
Katherine. Mark and Sharon decided to move on ahead of us and we diverted out to
Katherine Gorge in hope of hiring a canoe for the afternoon.
After stocking up in
Katherine we arrived at
the Gorge about 12 noon and due to such dismyal service and lack of canoes we left at 1pm. Maybe our tempers were running thin in the heat, but we were really put out by the poor service we received despite the operation being fully commercialised.
We drove on to
Litchfield National Park and arrived around 5pm. We stopped at Buley's Rockholes for a quick cool down before finding a 4WD only
campground at the base of the
Florence Falls. We were a little surprised to find others camping here and even more surprised to find 5 vehicles from the Toyota Landcruiser Club whom we knew. It was Tony Price and Rob Alexander and co. so we spent some time with them that evening.
The night was extremely hot and the mossies became intolerable so we decided to go to
Darwin tomorrow.
